Is there something wrong with Framemaker (ver 2.0 under Xwindows) or
is it just me? I can't seem to get letter spacing to come out right when
using courier
(good for code fragements I'm including in some documentation).

A paragraph like :

SUIT_setProperty (MyCounter, "current count", "int", &cur_count, 
	sizeof(int), OBJECT, TEMPORARY)
will get split (wrap) over two lines, which is OK, but why won't Frame
respond to
TABS placed before the "sizeof" on the second line, so as to indent it
some(like I have it here)?
When I hit the TAB key, Frame  puts the TAB on the previous line and
reduces the word
spacing on that line (spacing which was way too big to begin with.)
I have played with the word spacing parameters, tabs , and most
everything else I can think of.
and it seems to make very little difference.
Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong? 
Thanks in advance.
